Charlton: your questions answered
Is Charlton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Charlton close to London?
About 64 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What will facilities need from you?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Lunchtime staff treats in Charlton are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

A fish and chip van or other catering?
